Great stuff by everyone so far.I finally got my FM H10-44 home and unpacked. It is a MTH model with Proto sounds. Looks like new and was packed with the original foam on the front and rear handrails and under the chassis. The previous owner even had a note in the box about when the battery was removed and the make and model.
Lots of info about them here
Here's the prototype that was owned by the PRR. They owned 55 of these units over the years.
I love the long rear hood on these, looks like they should be pulling a tender behind them.
Have a good weekend all. At least the snow is staying south of LI. Stay safe if you are in the path of the storm.

It is amazing how many engines are out there and for sale that were never run or only run a tiny bit. I encounter them all the time on Ebay, and often at a fraction of their original price. I have picked up some incredible bargains that way over the years apparently, I am not the only one who buys an engine and then runs it once or twice, only to put it on the shelf .
I see you East Coasters are getting some wet weather of various kinds this weekend. Out here in SoCal, we have rain today with more storms lined up over the Pacific to move in during the upcoming week. This makes us very happy!
Stay dry and run your trains; that’s what I will be doing.
